Your frequently asked questions

  • What are my career options?

    Everyone is different. We all have talents, ambitions, and dreams of our own. That’s what makes us all special. We value diversity and foster personality. When it comes to career paths, there is no “one size fits all” approach. We give you the freedom to carve your own path. That being said, you’re never on your own. Our management, coaches, and talent experts offer you their full support.

    As our business keeps on growing, our organization is constantly evolving. We keep creating roles, opening entirely new windows of opportunities for those who like a challenge. Whether you’re a consultant or developer, or whether you’re keen on developing, consulting, coaching, or managing, our experts have career paths mapped out that can help you get a view of your options or chart your way forward.

  • What do I wear for my job interview?

    Our dress code is generally business casual internally, and slightly more professional when we are with customers. We appreciate a neat and presentable appearance without the need for overly formal attire, unless that's your personal preference. As an organization that values diversity and individuality, we care more about your personality and qualifications than your clothes. So, be yourself, and don't worry about your outfit. As long as you feel comfortable, you’ll be fine.

  • What is the application process?

    1. Complete an assignment

     If your profile interests us, you’ll be asked to complete an assessment based on the skills required for the role you applied for.

     

    2. Meet with HR

    Passed the assessment successfully? Congrats! Now let’s get to know each other. In this step, you’ll meet with one of our recruiters so we can learn more about you as a person.

     

    3. Get to know your manager and future colleagues

    If all goes well, your hiring manager will test your expertise and dig a little deeper into your know-how, preferences, and ambitions. Together, you’ll discuss your options and draft the plan for your career here.

     

    4.  An additional meet-and-greet

    You might expect that’s where it ends. But with us, it doesn’t. To be sure we get along, for senior, tailor-made, and new positions, we schedule a meet-and-greet with your future department lead or even other colleagues in your team. It’s a chance for you to get a real sense of the team before making any big life decisions.

     

    5. Sign your contract

    All set to go? If we both feel the right fit and agree on the terms, we’ll finalize your contract offer and talk you through the details.

  • What kind of training and coaching will I get?

    As a new team member, you’re in for an intensive training program. During your first months, we’ll walk you through the essentials. In our classroom trainings, you and other newcomers will get acquainted with everything you need to know. You’ll learn about supply chain basics, our commercial solution, and our organization and processes. In parallel, you’ll develop the soft and technical skills required for your job.

    On top of that, you’ll follow customized internal training programs connected to your role, interests, and ambitions. When your job requires specialist expertise beyond the know-how of our staff, we offer all the external training you need to be successful.

    Here, you don’t just get one coach. You get two: a day-to-day coach and a personal coach. During the first six to 12 months, you’ll be working closely with your day-to-day coach. As your mentor and buddy, they’ll get you up to speed, answering all the questions you may have and filling in the blanks that your training hasn’t covered. Your day-to-day coach remains at your side until you are ready to manage yourself.

    In parallel, your personal coach monitors your well-being, your progress, and your career, stimulating your personal growth and development in the long run. During monthly one-on-ones, you’ll discuss how you’re doing, where you’re headed, and how to get from point A to point B. Your personal coach will also be there to assist you with your performance reviews.

  • How does OMP evaluate and assess personal growth?

    We have several processes in place to ensure your personal growth.

    First, you'll have a yearly formal review with your team leader and personal coach, where you'll reflect on the past year, discuss achievements and challenges, and address any bonuses, promotions, or salary adjustments. This meeting is an excellent opportunity to assess your job satisfaction and align your career path with our organization.

    In addition to the yearly review, we conduct mid-year reviews to track progress and provide feedback. You'll also have regular one-on-one sessions with your personal coach for ongoing support and guidance.

    Furthermore, our career coaches are here to help you navigate your professional development journey, providing valuable insights and assistance in achieving your goals.

  • Does OMP support relocation?

    If you’re eager to work abroad and it fits both your career development and our company plans, we’ll do our best to make your dream come true. We’re a truly global firm and pride ourselves on our inclusive culture. Relocation is a wonderful way to discover alternative views of the world and boost resilience and personal growth. And you’re in luck! As our customer base keeps growing, our network of regional offices continues to expand around the globe.

  • Do you offer remote work opportunities?

    We offer a hybrid work model that allows you to strike the right balance between working from home and being present at the office. In this flexible approach, you have the opportunity to work from home up to 60% of the time. You can also work fully remotely for up to six weeks each year. We believe in empowering our employees to tailor their work arrangements to best suit their needs and preferences, all while ensuring collaboration and productivity.

  • Do you outsource your employees?

    No, we don’t. We are a supply chain planning software company that also contracts to provide consultancy services for our customers, and this is where our consultants step in as strategic partners (as opposed to outsourced employees). Our consultants are often on the road meeting our customers and guiding them through the implementation process. And at critical times in the project cycle, particularly around the go-live, they’ll spend more time at the customer’s site than usual. So, though we do not outsource our talent, we do keep our offices close to our customers, so you’ll always have a desk.

  • Will frequent travel be part of my role?

    Travel requirements vary based on the specific role you’ve chosen. While software engineers typically work primarily from our offices, consultants often engage in business trips and onsite customer meetings. For roles that involve extensive travel, such as consultants, you may spend up to 50 percent of your time on the road, depending on project requirements. Additionally, if you are working remotely, you might need to travel occasionally to the OMP office in your home country and, in some cases, even to our headquarters in Belgium. Your specific travel expectations will be discussed with your recruiter to ensure alignment upfront.

  • What is the onboarding process?

    Your onboarding experience will be shaped by your role with us, and you will likely join a group of others on the same journey. For Tech and Product and Consulting positions, for example, our onboarding program consists of three key components: training, hands-on experience, and dedicated coaching. The program typically spans 10-12 weeks.

    Every new starter receives teacher-led sessions and e-learning modules to build foundational knowledge, followed by ongoing coaching. For new consultants, the program then proceeds with a simulated customer project, working in small groups using real-world tools and methodologies. Throughout onboarding, consultants have a dedicated coach providing individualized support and regular check-ins to ensure success. Our goal is to equip you with the confidence and skills needed to excel in supply chain consulting, and our onboarding program is designed to do just that.
